Yesterday was long - I had to make a trip to Bismarck to ship a dog out to Cleveland. Yuma (puppy I shipped) is in a new home and he was a nice puppy - pointing backing and doing lots of good stuff for his age.
After I got back I loaded up a bunch of dogs and worked them out.
Chance - Had several corrections (3 finds) before he finally did it right and had a broke find. Good application
Trevor - Ran hard had one mishandled pheasant find.
Jakey - Had 2 nice finds on pheasants ( he broke at the shot) and was corrected - he had another find on sharptails which he stood broke on.
Gunner - Had 7 finds total ( mishandled 5 of them)but after corrections handled the last two with broke manners.
Xena - One find (handled it with derby manners) but the birds were jumpy in the wind and I did not get to flush them. So, she broke when the whole covey flushed.
Otto - Had a good run - got into a few birds.
Beast - Had one nice find - gun fire seems not to bother either him or Otto
Bran - Had 5 finds - (puppy finds where all the dogs point for a second then root out the bird)
Today - Jerry Lewis and I trailered over south about 30 miles.
Chewy - One broke find, one stop to flush (with correction) and a nice race.
Cord - One broke find, one stop to flush, 2 Honors. Nice open country gun dog race.
Knikki- One find, 3 honors and a stop to flush with a nice big prairie race.
We cut it a bit short because it was getting hot.
We had plenty of birds both days - probably close 80 sharptails today.
